NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart kills 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr.

Did Tony Stewart do it on purpose?

Parents of Kevin Ward Jr: "Tony killed him"

Tony's recollection of the events: "I had no idea he was out of his race car"

One of the other drivers from that night said he could clearly see Kevin on the track and intentionally avoided him. So how did Tony not see him?

Even the crowd reacts immediately. If the crowd could see Kevin, why couldn't Tony?

4 years later in 2018, Tony Stewart settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Ward's parents for an undisclosed amount.

So this guy high as fuck, decides to get out of the safety of his car and walks to the middle of an active race track expecting to people notice him and stop what they are doing while wearing all black at night! Sounds like a Darwin Award to me. The guy would be alive if he just stayed put that night, his parents are too emotional and wrongly blame Tony. Tony probably was just trying to catch up and just happened that Kevin was there.

In one of the videos they mentioned the coroner found traces of marihuana in his system, it explains his stupid behavior. I bet 100 $ they teach in racing 101 to never get out into the middle of the track.

Traces of marihuana wouldnt be enough to link it to any behavior at all.

You race for years and one day you crash your car, because lets face it Tony didn't touch him when he crashed and you go forth against every sense of logic along with ignoring the protocols that every racer knows like a bible just to rage at a guy, what was he expecting? Everyone will just stop, repair his car and disqualify Tony for something he didn't do? the guy either was high or was plain stupid, I feel for the parents thought no one deserves to bury their son.

Yeah i totally agree that what he did was incredibly dumb. Still not sure if Tony didnt have time to react.

Tony said he was looking at the Kevin's car when he hit him, Tony expected Kevin to be in his car because by common sense if the car ain't on fire then he has to stay in the car until rescued or move away from the race-track, he was wearing all black at night too making even harder to see him.
